Airport contact
The operator's own 2024 traffic report states 1.47 million passengers, higher than the previously recorded 1.4 million figure, so this is the newer full-year number in use here; airlines should still treat it as an operator-published round figure rather than an audited Rosaviatsia release. No full-year 2025 passenger total was locatable (the operator's site and Rosaviatsia's own release channel were both unreachable) — confirm before publishing a 2025 figure. Since 2022 the route map has shrunk to Russia, the CIS and a handful of 'friendly' destinations (e.g. Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Serbia, Egypt) with no EU/US service, and as with other airports in Russia's interior, planners should expect the possibility of short-notice airspace restrictions tied to regional security conditions even though no specific Strigino closure could be pinned to a date. The two short (500m/600m) unlit strips sometimes listed for this aerodrome are omitted here as non-operational for scheduled/airline traffic.

Lukoil-Aero
One of two aviation-fuel operators named on the airport's own partners/airlines/suppliers page as carrying out aircraft refuelling and aviation-fuel sales at Strigino (aero.lukoil.ru). Lukoil-Aero is a real, established Russian aviation-fuel operator spanning 30+ airports in Russia and abroad per its own site, so a Nizhny Novgorod branch is plausible, but the specific GOJ location could not be independently corroborated beyond the airport's own listing. Specific fuel grade (Jet A-1 presumed standard) not itemised on the source page.

Aerofuels (Аэрофьюэлз)
Second of two aviation-fuel operators named on the airport's own partners/airlines/suppliers page (aerofuels.ru) as carrying out aircraft refuelling and aviation-fuel sales at Strigino. Aerofuels Group is also a known Russian business-aviation fuel/handling group, though its GOJ branch page specifically could not be independently reached to confirm further detail beyond the airport's own listing.

De-icing
Seasonal
AO "MANN" — International Airport Nizhny Novgorod named after V.P. Chkalov (Strigino), part of the Аэропорты Регионов / Airports of Regions holding (Renova Group)
Airport's own ground-service department performs full-cycle aircraft anti-icing/de-icing, certified by Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Росавиация/FAVT); documented equipment includes a John Bean Technologies Tempest II and a Sterling MT 35 de-icing vehicle, rated for aircraft from 9-seat business jets up to 320-seat widebodies. No separate third-party de-icing contractor identified — self-performed by the airport operator. Nizhny Novgorod's continental climate (routine sub-zero, snow Nov-Mar) makes this a genuine seasonal requirement, not a boilerplate entry. · seasonal (winter)

Aircraft cleaning
Unconfirmed
AO "MANN" — International Airport Nizhny Novgorod named after V.P. Chkalov (Strigino), part of the Аэропорты Регионов / Airports of Regions holding (Renova Group)
No independently named aircraft cabin/lavatory/water-servicing contractor was found; this function is presumed bundled into the airport's own ISAGO-certified 'aircraft servicing' ground-handling module (which per the ISAGO scope covers aircraft turnaround servicing) rather than documented as a standalone contract. A separate contractor, ООО «Регион-Клининг», services the airport since March 2022 but for terminal/building cleaning only, not aircraft interiors — not counted here.
